Keep in mind that some toll roads no longer accept cash. To pay the tolls, you can purchase a SunPass (available at SunPass.com, the Florida Welcome Centers, and many retailers, including Publix, CVS, and Walgreens) or pay via toll-by-plate. EZ Pass, NC Quick Pass, and GA Peach Pass are now accepted on all Florida toll roads that accept SunPass and SunPass Pro. Visit SunPass.com for more information.
At Official Florida Welcome Centers, visitors have access to Certified Information Specialists, maps, brochures, and a variety of amenities. In addition, VISIT FLORIDA also offers more than 50 Certified Visitor Information Centers around the state. They’re indicated on the map with a purple star icon ( ). These facilities must meet certain requirements, such as having a convenient location, providing accessible parking and restrooms, and operating at least five days a week year-round. Find Florida’s Certified Visitor Information Centers on the map at the right.
Pick your pleasures on Florida’s north Gulf coast: a daily palette of white sand, emerald surf, and blue sky; the phenomenon of Walton County’s coastal dune lakes; river paddling trails that wind through pine forests; and living history, including Native American and colonial settlements, Civil War batteries, and scenic highways.
Fifty-five feet beneath the Florida Caverns State Park forest is a geological showroom. Limestone stalactites (remember “c” for ceiling) hang from above. Stalagmites (“g” for ground) rise from the floor.
